It’s pure hubris for politicians to think they can “rebalance” the economy
September 9, 2016 4:29 AM
Theresa May is reviving the idea of interventionist industrial strategy, and wants to “rebalance” the economy. Many people are jumping on the bandwagon. They should jump right off again. Even the more mature of today’s politicians were still in the school playground when these ideas last made waves. In the 1950s and 1960s, UK governments … Continue reading "It’s pure hubris for politicians to think they can “rebalance” the economy"
Does Britain need a ‘proper industrial strategy’?
September 8, 2016 4:19 AM
Jeremy Warner yesterday echoed the Prime Minister’s goal of a “proper industrial strategy” for Britain. He rightly cautions against the wrong-headed interventionism that did the country so much harm between 1945 and the late 1970s, but he nonetheless advocates “a middle way,” a “genuine partnership” between private and public sectors in a range of areas … Continue reading "Does Britain need a ‘proper industrial strategy’?"
Apple and Ireland: nothing surprising in the EU imposing taxes
September 6, 2016 12:14 AM
Clearly no-one commenting on the EU Commission’s levying of €13 billion of taxes on Apple has read my 2005 IEA monograph, “The Benefits of Tax Competition”. Whether opposed to or in favour of the Commission’s action, people on either side of the debate seem surprised that they have done it. “Tax is not an EU … Continue reading "Apple and Ireland: nothing surprising in the EU imposing taxes"
It is true that “corporations don’t pay tax” – but it is not true in the way everybody thinks
September 5, 2016 4:42 AM
“Corporations do not pay taxes.” This statement may be uncontroversial among large swathes of the population, but to free-marketeers – and economists – it means a very different thing. Whereas most people will interpret it as suggesting that large multinationals, often in cahoots with government, are able to eschew their tax obligations and book their … Continue reading "It is true that “corporations don’t pay tax” – but it is not true in the way everybody thinks"
School choice has worked in India. But we need to compare like with like
August 30, 2016 4:02 AM
Recently, critics of low-cost private schooling in developing countries – and there are many – had a field day. A study published in Harvard’s prestigious Quarterly Journal of Economics appeared to put the nail in the coffin of those who of us thought that poor parents, by choosing private education, might be doing something sensible. … Continue reading "School choice has worked in India. But we need to compare like with like"
Robotics and Artificial Intelligence – Game Changer or Game Ender?
September 7, 2016 5:14 AM
Enough about Brexit. Let’s talk about something else for a moment, shall we? Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) may not necessarily result in a Prime Minister resigning, the pound to plummet, or some serious backstabbing, but this billion dollar industry will have a sizeable impact on all aspects of our lives now and in the … Continue reading "Robotics and Artificial Intelligence – Game Changer or Game Ender?"
Discrimination: don’t believe the media hype
September 1, 2016 12:50 AM
The Women and Equalities Committee has just published a report calling for increased job protection for new mothers along German lines, more protection for casual, agency and zero-hours workers, a reduction in employment tribunal fees for women making a pregnancy-related claim, and an extension of the time limit for making such claims. There are also … Continue reading "Discrimination: don’t believe the media hype"
It’s my party and I’ll vape if I want to
August 31, 2016 1:03 AM
‘Excuse me, Miss, but you can’t smoke that in here’, is a phrase I’ve grown accustomed to hearing. I’ve been told off for vaping all over the place. In a rowdy beer-garden, on the train, even at a football match. Recently I got a ticking off for smoking – a real cigarette on this occasion … Continue reading "It’s my party and I’ll vape if I want to"
From the gender pay gap to the minimum wage to executive pay – the politicisation of pay must end
August 26, 2016 1:15 AM
Economic logic suggests that free determination of employment contracts, like free trade, normally benefits both parties and leads to high levels of employment and economic growth. But this view has never been popular. Fifty years ago, it was the accepted belief that governments should determine pay increases, leading to the dead end of incomes policies … Continue reading "From the gender pay gap to the minimum wage to executive pay – the politicisation of pay must end"
Labour should focus on growth above inequality
August 24, 2016 4:56 AM
It used to go without saying that growth matters. But if former US Treasury secretary Larry Summers now feels the need to take to the pages of the Financial Times to make the ‘progressive case for economic growth’, it shows just how far other issues, whether inequality or climate change, have come to dominate the … Continue reading "Labour should focus on growth above inequality"
